Five things make a Sunday morning
Dec. 12th, 2010 09:16 amThe snow began last night. But it stopped around midnight--when I let the pups out around 430am, it still hadn't resumed, and I hoped that conditions had changed and we would avoid a pounding. 730am was another story. I am so glad I don't have to go anywhere. Still only an inch or two on the ground so far, and no clue how much we'll wind up with. I only hope the power doesn't go out.
Gaby's outside. She's nuts. She went out before breakfast, then came inside only long enough to eat. At one point, she was prancing around a rope toy that was frozen to the ground, stopping every so often to chew on it and try to pick it up.
King's inside. He has been outside several times, trying to entice the neighbor's dogs to run the fence with him. But those dogs are old, with very short coats. They stayed outside only long enough to do what they needed to. No running the fence for them today.
I have other things I need to do, but I want to bake something. King Arthur Flour sent me a free box of lemon-ginger scone mix with an order, and I will make them this morning. The house needs to smell of baking.
Dinner will consist of leftover pot roast unearthed from the freezer. If ever a day needed gravy, this one does.
